Ingredients

• 16 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 8 ounces Spanish chorizo, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 cup dry sherry or white wine
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 0 to taste salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 loaf crusty bread, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced chorizo and cook for 2-3 minutes, until it begins to render its fat and lightly brown.

Step 3

Push the chorizo to one side of the skillet and add the minced garlic to the other side. Cook for 30 seconds, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 4

Sprinkle the smoked paprika over the chorizo and garlic, stirring to evenly coat.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until they turn pink and are just cooked through.

Step 6

Pour in the dry sherry or white wine, stirring to deglaze the skillet and scrape up any browned bits. Let the liquid simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley and remove from heat.

Step 9

Transfer the shrimp and chorizo mixture to a serving dish and serve warm with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful juices.
